Anyone receive their Zu Druid VIs yet?
For those interested in amps, I have the Omen Def mk II's with the radian upgrade. I run a Decware Rachael integrated and have superb sound. Tube rolling helps tune them quite well.  
BaerWald vs VPI setup protractors
I would never trust a printed on paper protractor on a high-end turntable. I’m an architect, and deal with skilled accurate drawings every day.  Even with good quality printers on good heavy gauge bond paper things can be ever so slightly off. Fir... 
GLANZ MFG 610LX
When it rains it pours when it comes to this cart.  Chakster turned me onto a Glanz MFG 610LX not but a few weeks ago.  I'm not sure where it lies in the Glanz line up, I just know from the specs I could find is that is it is a line contact with a...

So I got the Glanz MFG 610LX up and running today. Thanks Chakster for the recommendation. Less than an hour, but so far very impressed. Sounds very natural.

"Any comments on how the 1200GR compares to your main Prime rig? I've seen a few people go from a Prime to 1200G so I'd love to know how the GR holds up." It's hard for me to compare since each TT is on a different system. BBUT if I was pressed I... 
Gonna have to ditch the Soundsmith Carmen II
If you track at 2.0 you might find things dull out a bit.  It's hard to give good advice not being able to hear a person's system.  There are just too many variables at play.Can you compare against a CD of the same album to see the net difference?... 
Gonna have to ditch the Soundsmith Carmen II
You must remember he did a minor tweak to mine, I’m not sure what he did but he asked me that I track at 1.8g to 1.9g. However after doing that I found it still sounded best at 1.6g,  so that is where I am tracking right now.   What are you not ge...

One question I do have about the Glanz is it has an output of 3.5 mV. My Dynavector P75 phono pre only lists up to 2 mV with 40 db of gain. Will I hav too much output from the cart or will I just not half to turn up the volume as much to achieve t...

Well Chak, I took the plunge on the Glanz MFG-610LX. I couldn’t find much on it, but what I did find was very good.  
Technics 1200GR Owners
Chak Thank you for your informative response. I have heard good things about those carts that you recommend. However I would rather keep my budget around $300 - $400 at the most at this point. I’ve pretty much blown through my budget. If I’m going...

” Using conical tip nowadays is very strange decision. “It might be strange but I picked it for very specific reason. The speakers are the Thiel CS 2.4’s and they can tend to sound bright in my room. With the 103 I don’t really perceive the rolled...

Just received my Carmen cartridge back from Mr. Ledermann.  In short the sibalence has been eliminated!According to Peter he checked my cart against his reference cart and reference albums and while he could not detect any aborrant behavier he ind... 
Good Direct Drives
Clearthink,  I can only speak to what I’ve actually heard, so my data set is small but you speak about the hunting of servo controlled DD TT’s as a bad thing. I guess that would depend on the degree of the hunting . I have a VPI Prime with the roa...
